LHD is 1 of the biggest areas of strength in the org imo. Walman Chiarot Edvinsson Wallinder Johansson Mcisaac etc. No other pisition has that top talent and depth.
-
Good player comp. Kasper protects the puck really well and is good at cycling playing down low. Kasper does everything really well imo and isnt afraid of the greasy areas. He has the dog in him just needs to add strength to his frame.

Larkin & Bertuzzi Contract Watch? Red Wings TDL Discussion.

Dont draft goalies in the top 1/2 of the draft unless there cant miss. Cossa was the opposite -boom or bust- way to much risk especially trading up to get him. SYs only glaring mistake so far imo was taking Cossa. Some will say Chiarot and Copp but I dont mind either of those signings.

Larkin & Bertuzzi Contract Watch? Red Wings TDL Discussion.
redw1ngs replied to LeftWinger's topic in General
If Hronek is worth 1st and 2nd Bouchard is worth more then that. This seems like a fair trade probly even favoring Detroit. Wings take this trade all day. -
Gylander = underrated prospect Never waste high draft capital on goalers. Throw darts in the later rounds or trade r3 pick for a Husso/Ned. Cossas a bust and at 15oa that stings.
-
Do you understand how few goalies play a season in the echl and go on to be #1 goalies in the nhl? Its a very short list and then consider how many on that short list have played as poorly as Cossa. That list dwindles down to 1. The chance of Cossa having a long successful career in the nhl is slim imo let alone the elite #1 some were expecting.

Biggest bust in franchise history
-
Lombardi was also drafted as an overager like quite a few other SY picks. Good #s but I wouldnt get to hyped yet. Same for Ali and Zito all these guys are longshots. This is a player worth getting hyped about imo.

Wallstedt- ahl 14gp .895sv% 3.27gaa Cossa- ahl 3gp .0783sv% 5.57gaa Cossa- echl 17gp 0.897sv% 2.81gaa SC echl #s are barely better then JW ahl #s SC ahl #s altho small sample are MUCH worse then JW ahl #s. Wallstedt still needs work but theres no saving Cossa pun intended. Busterino.

This will go down as SY biggest mistake and traded up in the draft to do it. alot of wasted draft capital in that swing n a miss.

Larkins also better then Toews so thats 4yrs since 2008 but the point wasnt how many times but that it can be done. You can win with a very good 1c elite w and d and strong depth and it looks like thats what SY is building. Larkin isn being traded. -

Teams have proven to win with good c and great w and d. St louis had O'reilly Schenn Bozak Sundqvist at c. Larkin is better then any of those. Like mentioned adding Horvat having Larkin Horvat Copp/Kasper at c with Raymond Vrana Kubalik Berggren Perron Copp/Kasper at w and Seider Hronek Edvinsson Wallinder at d thats a cup caliber team imo. We just need a g because Cossa aint it. -

Whats with all the proposed overpayments on this site? Boeser could be had for a lot less. Bertuzzi straight up is close to fair value imo maybe throw in a pick but def not a 1st. Sure continue thinking that because theres no ink to paper SY and DL arent having conversations about the captains future with the team. A contract wont be signed in the next 3 months and Larkin wont be traded. Larkin will sign his new contract this summer $8.875Mx8. never heard of a handshake agreement huh? -

That was then this is now. You cant compare early days rebuild to today theres finally a light at the end of the tunnel. You dont trade your best player when your over halfway through whats shaping up to be a successful rebuild. Trading your captain warrior best player is not part the yzerplan. Dude no deal is getting signed mid season. The tdl will pass and Larkin will sign his contract this summer. -

He wont be traded =/= non-tradeable. He wont be traded because hes the best player on the team and the only quality top6c on the team. Trade your average 1C and all of the sudden your stuck with 2 3Cs playing top6c. Copp Rasmusen Veleno Suter are far from a 1C. Kasper might get there but even thats unlikely at this point. injury prone top6w = trade bait heart and soul captain 1c = keeper -

Being C and from MI is great but not the reason he wont be traded. Larkin isnt a SY draft pick but hes def a SY player. heart and soul and best player on the team. Career Red Wing. -

Berts as good as gone. Larkin aint getting traded. Not happening. Holy overpayment. Why tho? -
No contract is getting signed before the tdl and Larkin aint getting traded. Im sure theres a mutual understanding/agreement between both parties and a deal will get done after this season. Im not sure which side dragged it out but Im guessing it was Larkin wanting to bet on himself a bet that will most def pay off big.
-
Larkin aint goin nowhere. Anyone that thinks theres a chance he gets moved is daf. pen to paper or not DL and SY will have a handshake agreement in place before the deadline if they dont already. SY isnt about to lose his 1c best player and captain. Bertuzzi I could see SY shopping tho.

Edvinsson had a rough game his worst this preseason imo last night.
